Windows 10: Japanese IME in Dvorak not working

Discus and support Japanese IME in Dvorak not working in Windows 10 Customization to solve the problem; I modified my registry entry for the Japanese keyboard layout to use Dvorak as follows: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00...

    Japanese IME in Dvorak not working


    I modified my registry entry for the Japanese keyboard layout to use Dvorak as follows:


    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layouts\00000411]
    "Layout File"="KBDDV.DLL"


    and it is not working as I hoped.


    At first, every input method was still using QWERTY. I'm not sure what did the trick, but between signing out, restarting, and re-installing the Japanese language it began using Dvorak for Direct Input only. Everykana-based input method still uses QWERTY.



    Any ideas on how to have the Japanese IME use the Dvorak keyboard layout for all of its input methods?



    OS: Windows 10 Pro 2004 build 19041.450

    Japanese IME dvorak not working on Start Search, after anniversay upgrade

    My Windows 10 was working perfectly well, then I upgraded to the anniversary edition.

    I use the Dvorak keyboard layout, and the Japanese IME (built in [Microsoft])

    I have gone into the system registry and changed the Japanese keyboard from qwerty into dvorak. This is working fine everywhere, except the start search... When I attempt to type into the Start Search, my keyboard uses Qwerty instead. The language bar still
    shows that it's using Japanese.

    If I switch my keyboard to English Dvorak, I can use Dvorak in the Start Search.

    Recap:

    Japanese IME - modified to Dvorak via registry

    Typing in Start Search uses Qwerty

    Everything else uses Dvorak

    English Dvorak is working in Start Search

  3. Japanese IME writes in qwerty instead of dvorak in windows 10 apps

    I use a Japanese IME to type in windows. I set the IME to type in dvorak instead of qwerty because that's what I prefer. After the update yesterday (october 10), when I type in the start search or any other windows 10 apps (Universal Windows Platform apps)
    like settings, calculator, photos, but not control panel or chrome, I type in qwerty instead of dvorak.

    I know that this is a software issue because it did work just fine before the update. I have a feeling that the problem is that the Layout File (in regedit) that UWP apps use is not the same as what everything else uses. If that is indeed the problem then
    please point me to where in regedit it is and I'll fix it. But if it isn't then I have no idea what's wrong.

    How can I set it back to dvorak?

    Japanese IME Not Working

    I use Japanese on and off and have been working in the past. At some point it stopped working. When switch to Japanese, the 'A' isn't there like it used to be and there is not option to switch to hiragana, kana as it is not there anymore.

    I have tried all the shortcuts, uninstall Japanese language pack, and replaced some files in the IME folder from a working Windows 10 pc (virtual box).

    I am running 1903 and Windows update is up to date.
